Autonomous Decisions- HUGE Impact...
After watching an entire district event (Southfield, MI), I have learned something that seems many teams have yet to catch on to...
1. Autonomous is a big impact on match score, as always. 2. Starting a cycle to get those assist points is EXTREMELY important, as the assist points are significantly more than the points for scoring a ball. So my question: If you are unable to score a ball in autonomous and neither of your alliance partners have a 2-ball autonomous, can you start the match with the ball off of the field completely? Below is the vague rule... G5 For ROBOTS starting in the white ZONE, the TEAM MAY preload one (1) of their ALLIANCE’s BALLS such that the BALL is touching their ROBOT. For ROBOTS starting in their GOALIE ZONE the TEAM may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH. If a ROBOT does not report to a MATCH, its ALLIANCE may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH. Violation: If the situation is not corrected before the start of the MATCH, TECHNICAL FOUL per BALL improperly staged. The rule is very unclear, but could pay a major role in starting a cycle. Any input? |
